So ill open it again like TriggerFinger would do. -he'd probably do it only once (: -- Don't count on it.

Conclusion:
1)The solution for people who don't know much about computers would be to bring it to their computer shop and let it be repaired others can repair it themselves.
2)The button seems to be crucial for the wireless network, unless when it's not stuck on off or maby with other laptops.

(Ill report on my progress with the led right now some other business first)

Sometimmes I can be bit confusing sorry for this.
(and english isn't my motherlanguage)
EDIT:
Is the driver installed for this WiFi card? If so, can you try doing the following:

Click Start, Control Panel, and then click Broadcom Wireless Utility

Navigate through each tab and may be you can switch ON the radio from there.

EDIT 2:
If you do not have the Broadcom Wireless Utility, may be you can try this driver:
